I dont like to cut wood from my own property. I only have an acre with some bigass oaks (30" base) i guess im selfish,i want to burn "other peoples wood"No need to feel insecure - after all, we are just talking about firewood.

I've been splitting that chestnut oak the past two evenings, and got to the stump of the one trunk....so I had a little fun and documented how many decent sized splits I could get out of it (a couple Angry Orchard Ginger Apple Ales in the process!)

rolled that heavy SOB over to the splitter (notice I'm splitting Backwoods Savage-style, no milk crate though, because with these big rounds, the seat just gets in the way!)

busted off one third of the round.....then the second third...

threw all of the splits over in a pile to be counted and....ended up with 29 splits...enough to heat the house for several days in one single round!! I love those big rounds!!

and ran into TONS of these knots and crotches in the trunk.....just another reason I love those hydraulics!!

If I lived out your way, I'd be drinking Yuengling non stop.
Both my wife and I see either a fish trying to grow horns or perhaps a devil cat.
